Replaced Front Droplinks, Now steering is creaking!!

Post by Tiger Magnet »

Hiya

Just want to pick some brains on here. I replaced my front anti roll bar droplinks about a month ago. In the last couple of weeks a creaking noise in the suspension has started. Mainly when flat steering or going over bumps. Could fitting the new droplinks have damaged another part of the suspension. Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

just a hunch but take out the front anti role bar bushes inspect them and if OK clean them and put them back. You may have disturbed them and either got some grit in there or moved the position on the bar slightly or may have been stuck to the bar with age. Put dry lube on if you can, then see noise if it goes away. It an easy job and worth doing before tackling more difficult components.
